The Indonesia Research Institute, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, is proud to support the 'Indonesia Logistic & Driver 2025' symposium organized by TDG Holdings. This significant event took place in Jakarta, Indonesia, gathering representatives from the Indonesian Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Transportation, National Police, educational institutions, and Japanese businesses.
The focus of the symposium was on creating a new training model for logistics personnel, specifically centered around the theme of 'Indonesia × Driver Development.' The participants emphasized the importance of producing highly skilled logistics professionals capable of thriving in domestic and international markets.
Background and Purpose of the Symposium
The symposium was convened to address two pressing issues: the rapidly growing demand for logistics services in Indonesia and the shortage of logistics drivers in Japan. A collaborative effort is essential for developing a cross-border human resource training framework. This gathering aimed not only to provide labor but also to cultivate 'professional drivers' equipped with Japan’s high safety standards and work ethics, thereby facilitating the capability of Indonesian talent to thrive globally.
Highlights of the Symposium
The event saw notable speakers, including the leaders of TDG Holdings, the President of Transjakarta, the President of STIAMI University, and Brigadier General Faisal from the National Police. They engaged in discussions on various topics:
1.
Redefining Drivers as a Specialized Profession: Albee, the representative of our company, advocated for reclassifying drivers akin to pilots and engineers, emphasizing the importance of knowledge, skills, and safety standards in their training.
2.
Introducing Japanese Training Systems: Mr. Kato, representing TDG Holdings, highlighted the systematic traffic safety education provided by Japanese driving schools. He announced plans to accept 15,000 logistics drivers utilizing Japan’s 'Specified Skilled Worker' system within the next five years.
3.
Strong Collaboration Among Government, Industry, and Academia: The Vice Minister of Labor, Mr. Afriansyah, acknowledged the central role of logistics drivers in domestic employment and the high demand in global markets. Participants from police and educational sectors recognized the necessity of collaboration between Japan and Indonesia to foster internationally competitive talent.
Future Prospects: Developing World-Class Drivers
The Indonesia Research Institute is committed to translating the discussions from this symposium into concrete actions by accelerating several initiatives:
- - Building Model Training Programs: We will develop curricula that incorporate Japanese safe driving techniques and professional ethics education.
- - Providing Comprehensive Training: Our educational programs will encompass driving skills alongside language, cultural awareness, and safety standards.
